Dilemma: I feel embarrassed after a one night stand…

One night stands tend to go one of two ways – you have a great time and it was a good decision because you felt confident and in control - and because of that the sex was hot. Or you end up wishing you hadn’t for one of many reasons.

In my Miss Independent Woman website Love Doc page this week I’ve tackled one woman’s dilemmaabout not wanting to go back into her local pub because of a one night stand.

TODAY’S TIP: I hope my tips help if you’re in a similar situation but one rule of thumb for one night stands is you can’t turn back the clock and if it was an unhappy experience the best you can do is learn from it and stop beating yourself up.

Keep it firmly in mind the next time you’re thinking about a one night stand and ask yourself if it could be heading in the same unhappy direction.

And if alcohol was involved and you didn’t use condoms then get yourself checked out for STIs.
